Given that ON's FD is running pretty much at the same time as this event, I won't be able to do the PBP for both. So if someone could pick up this event's PBP, that would be cool. I genuinely think most people don't appreciate dance because they're not sure what they're supposed to be looking at, so hopefully all these PBPs will help with that.

If the ON event ends before this, I'll scoot over here.

Thanks if you can help!

I have agreed to fill the big shoes of my fellow dance lovers WeakAnkles and DorisP and do the PBP. Please bear with me!

I hope they get these buzzing noises under control...

 

[LaArdilla]

Ooooops shame about the lift!

 

[Lamente Ariane]

So nice to actually hear the applause though

 

[Colonel Green]

The sound feed seems to be getting some background chatter from the cameramen?

 

[draqq]

A tough second half for the program for Markova/Daze. A good rotational lift to start and a cool balance point in the straightline lift, but they really struggled with the transition in the middle of the combo spin and the third lift was aborted midway through. They need to work on getting speed through every step as they seem to be quite slow on the footwork.

twizzles- three sets, OK — a bit slow in parts
rotational lift
straight line step sequence — nice line
straight line lift
no-touch step sequence -
spin - that seem to go on forever….
ChTwizzles
step sequence?
curve lift- she fell out of it early
choreographic sliding sequence

I would have liked to see more power for someone skating to Metallica. It felt quite slow and labored.

(Sorry if I missed a few elements -- some of the Choreographic elements I haven't quite master identifying yet)

Nice ending!

 

[zebobes]

Sun is definitely my favorite Chinese ice dancer. He is so expressive.

 

[Colonel Green]

Hong's dress is beautiful, but I think Zhuoming is dressed a bit too casually in comparison (and the colours don't really complement each other).

 

[draqq]

Chen/Sun

I think their program started and ended well. Very interesting to start with a combo spin and the last few choreo sequences were good as well, especially the sliding movement. Sun had a slight stumble in the last set of twizzles (probably a Level 3 for him). Their one-foot sequence of steps and the footwork were alright, could have stronger edges and flow. I think they were able to match the romantic tone of the music, though there weren't a lot of moves that were done on the music in particular.

Spin — Nice positions by her
Choreo lift
Twizzles - with steps after fist step, three sets total — OK,
Curve (straight line?) lift into a rotational lift -
No-touch step sequences - Nice and close
Midline step -
Circular step
sliding movement
stationary lift
choreo lift

There’s a nice airy quality to their skating. They are a new team and they are coming along with gelling.

There were some nice choreographic moments, but again, would like a bit more power to go with the music.

Hey, turn the background music down, I can't hear Ted try to praise away their fall.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Nooo the dubbing is back, turn back on the arena sound!

 

[draqq]

Lanaghan/Razgulajevs

Some really great moments through this program. I liked the surprise entry into the opening rotational lift with her in the split position. The opening footwork sequence had fairly good edges, though the steps could be a bit more complex. The second balance-point lift with her balancing on his leg was a little tentative but they'll get more confident with it later in the season. They had good shapes through the combo spin and nice sync through the twizzles.

The only main mishap was him doing a crossover right into the boards which resulted in a fall. But luckily they were able to recover quickly for their spread eagle choreo lift. Artistically, I wish they were able to be grittier like the song and they were able to relate to each other more, but they feel technically strong in general.

 

[Mrs. P]

Oh Debbie, you all know us fans are willing to commit all sort of truancy to watch skating.

Confession, totally blew off 3 hours of work to watch skating Thursday and ended up working 10 hours yesterday to make up for it.
